Dachshund's Daily Need To Nap While Mom Brushes Her Teeth Is Hilarious
Dogs can be total velcro babies at times. My Pug mix follows me everywhere. If I'm working in the kitchen, he's laying at my feet. When I go to the basement to do the laundry, he's trailing two steps behind me. And he's always waiting for me at the door when I come out of the bathroom. Do I mind? Of course not! It's adorable.
This darling Dachshund appears to be a bit clingy too, yet her mom doesn't have any problem with it.
In the TikTok from @leeseslife, the Doxie's mom was about to brush her teeth in the bathroom but figured her little dog expected to be a part of her morning routine. She looked down at her Dachshund and knew exactly what the pup wanted.
The next scene showed her snuggling her canine cutie as she brushed her teeth. The precious pooch started yawning and soon nodded off to sleep.
"She's not spoiled, but if she wants to take a nap while I brush my teeth (every single morning), I'm going to let her," the onscreen text explained.
Dachshunds are notorious snugglers. They love to nestle close to their loved ones and are known to burrow under blankets to feel safe and cozy. This Doxie obviously wants to cuddle no matter where her mom is.
The adorable video is a great example of how our fur babies just want to be with us. It's a joy to give them the attention they crave, especially when they give us so much in return.Followers got a kick out of the morning routine and completely supported the toothbrushing/nap combo.
"This isn't spoiled — this is just treating her like the princess she is," one commented.
"There's not a real reason that she shouldn't be hanging with momma making sure she's ok while she does her morning routine," a fan pointed out.
"This is so adorable. She feels safe in your arms," another remarked.
"She's not spoiled. She's blessed," a follower noted.
This looks like a perfect morning routine to me!

Alex Cooper Savagely Booed At Wrigley Field For Desecrating Long Tradition
Alex Cooper has millions of fans of her 'Call Her Daddy' podcast ― and it sounded like none of them were at Chicago's Wrigley Field on Sunday when she performed 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame.' She was booed. Lustily. Savagely. Brutally. Pick your adverb. It was bad. 'You've never seen something like this before,' Cooper said. And she might have been right. Click to watch it right here. It probably didn't help that at first she appeared to attempt a bad impression of late and beloved Chicago Cubs announcer Harry Caray, who was famous for leading the Wrigley faithful in the 'Take Me Out' chant during the seventh inning stretch. Cooper's sorta backup dancers and giggle-pocked delivery were perhaps errors as well. Hey, at least she has more subject matter for her next show. And her heavily despised take didn't hurt the home team's performance. The Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 11-0. Please note the ESPN-televised version, which you can watch below, isn't as boo-heavy because the sound is focused on her singing. If that's what you want to call it.

Cierra Ortega exits 'Love Island USA' villa following backlash over resurfaced racial slur posts
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cierra Ortega, a contestant of this summer's 'Love Island USA' left the villa just a week before the finale of the hit reality series is set to air on Peacock. Her departure, announced Sunday, followed weeks of uproar from viewers after old posts from Ortega resurfaced that contained a racial slur against Asian people. The show's narrator, Iain Stirling, announced Ortega had departed 'due to a personal situation' early in Sunday's episode. Ortega becomes the second contestant this season to depart the show amid controversy due to past social media posts. Yulissa Escobar abruptly exited last month in the second episode after clips of her using racist language resurfaced online. Her departure was also not explained in the show. A spokesperson for the show declined to comment Monday. Ortega's family posted to her Instagram story Sunday evening following the announcement of her departure, asking the public 'for compassion. For patience. For basic human decency. 'While Cierra is not in the villa anymore, she is still away. She hasn't had the chance to process any of this or speak for herself,' her family wrote. 'But we know our daughter. We know her heart. And when she returns, we believe she'll face this with honesty, growth, and grace.' Her family said they, along with Ortega's friends and online supporters, have received threats, attacks and cruel messages on social media, noting that 'no one deserve that kind of hate, no matter what mistakes they've made.' 'Love Island USA' is an American spin-off of the original U.K. series and is airing its seventh season. The show airs daily except Wednesdays and brings young singles together in a remote villa in Fiji to explore connections with the ultimate goal of finding love. Couples undergo challenges and are encouraged test their romantic connections as new contestants are introduced. Islanders are routinely 'dumped' from the villa throughout the series as stronger couples form. The winning couple receives $100,000. The show, which strips contestants of their phones or access to the outside world, has previously asked fans to avoid cyberbullying contestants. Host Ariana Madix called for fans to stop doxxing and harassing the show's stars in a recent interview with The Associated Press. Ortega entered the villa at the end of the first episode as a bombshell, one of the first in a steady stream of new contestants who come in after the show began, often expected to disrupt existing couples and create new relationship dynamics. Ortega quickly coupled up with Nic Vansteenberghe, whom she remained with up until her departure. Her exit broke up one of the few consistent couples of the season. The couple had just announced a few episodes prior they were 'closed off,' a popular 'Love Island' phrase to indicate neither contestant was interested in exploring a connection with any other islander. 'Before Cierra had left, my mind was clear. I knew what the future would look like, and now, I'm lost,' Vansteenberghe said during Sunday's episode. Vansteenberghe stayed on the show as a single islander after Ortega left, and he ultimately re-coupled with fellow contestant Olandria Carthen before the end of the episode. Belle-A Walker, a contestant who was dumped earlier this season, took to Instagram to express heartbreak over Ortega's resurfaced posts. Walker, who is Asian American, said she is 'deeply appreciative' of the show's producers 'for taking a stand and making it clear that racism of any kind is not tolerated.' 'Asian hate is oftentimes overlooked and dismissed. But being a first-generation American, I have personally witnessed and experienced how real and hurtful comments like these are,' Walker wrote on her Instagram story page. 'It is my hope that this situation can help shed light on how big of an issue anti-Asian hate really is.'

Gen Z diners tripped up by common menu pricing abbreviation — and wind up slapped with $160 bill
Talk about a pricey 'POV.' Three Gen Z sisters got a not-so-tasty surprise when they ordered steak at a coastal North Carolina restaurant — only to realize too late what 'MKT' on the menu actually meant. Spoiler: it doesn't mean 'Marked down' — it means 'market price.' Advertisement In a TikTok video that's racked up more than 19 million views, Aribella Menold, 20, and her siblings shared their shock after ordering dinner at Moonrakers, a white-tablecloth waterfront joint in Beaufort. 'POV: You didn't know what 'mkt' meant on the steak menu and now you're paying for it,' the caption read as the camera panned to their stunned expressions and the $159.14 bill. The sisters had unknowingly racked up a hefty tab that included two 12 oz New York strip steaks for $52 each, a $28 baby kale Caesar salad with an extra $11 for grilled chicken, a $10 kid's grilled cheese and a $3 Sprite — proving once and for all that even salads can be a financial ambush. Advertisement Their subtotal came to $145 with a 3% credit card surcharge that added an additional $4.35 and the 6.75% sales tax tacked on another $9.79. 'We thought the price was going to be like $20-$30,' Menold told Newsweek. Turns out, 'MKT' is restaurant shorthand for 'market price,' a cryptic code used for items that fluctuate based on availability, seasonality and ingredient cost — usually seafood or steak. In other words: if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it. Advertisement Menold's video, originally posted to Instagram and then to TikTok, blew up overnight. Luckily for the sisters, their wallets were spared the full damage. 'Our grandpa ended up paying for it, which was so sweet of him,' Menold explained to the outlet. The sisters unknowingly feasted their way to a fat bill totaling $160. Aribella_Menold/TikTok But the internet had thoughts — and no shortage of them. Advertisement '$160 is not bad if you divide the bill by three, each person pays 53 dollars which is good,' one commenter shrugged. Another gasped, 'That's like 53-55$ each girl is spending on dinner. That's wild tbh.' Others zeroed in on the leafy green culprit: 'Okay but a salad being 28 dollar [s] is diabolical.' Still, some blamed the staff for not stepping in: 'Honestly shame on your server for not informing you of the price when it's clearly not listed. One complaint and all of my old bosses would have ripped me a new one for not informing the guest and probably make me pay out of pocket for it.' A separate TikTok user offered this sage advice: 'Unless you're rich, don't buy items off a menu if they don't have a price.' Lesson learned: when dining out, always ask the price — or bring your grandpa. As The Post previously reported, a whistleblowing ex-staffer at California's now-closed Automat claimed those feel-good 'living wage' fees slapped on your bill are nothing but a tip-toeing façade. Advertisement 'If you see a restaurant charging a 'cost of living,' 'equal pay' or 'mandatory service fee' like the 20% this restaurant did, be suspicious,' Jordan Smith explained in an Instagram story post shared by Eater San Francisco. 'It's possible the back-of-house teams aren't seeing much of that money,' he continued regarding the non-server crew. Meanwhile, a ticked-off diner went viral last month after posting a receipt showing a mandatory 'living wage fee' — and the internet lost its appetite. Turns out 'MKT' is just fancy menu-speak for 'market price' — a slippery little code used for steaks, seafood and other dishes that change with the tides and the supply chain. nicoletaionescu – Advertisement Tipping rules may differ coast to coast, but here in NYC, the law's pretty clear: 'Restaurants cannot charge a surcharge or other fee in addition to listed food or beverage prices,' per the city's Consumer and Worker Protection rules. However, they can 'charge a bona fide service charge — but only if the charge is conspicuously disclosed to consumers before food is ordered.'
